“Having Sharlene as my birth doula was the best choice I made for myself and my baby Valentina. My birth story turned out different from what I planed but Sharlene went the extra mile to make sure we got all the love, knowledge and support. If I had to do it again I would definitely do it with Sharlene, thank you for being not just a doula but a new friend, and an amazing human being!”-Valeria
“Sharlene is exactly what I needed in a Doula. Being in the throws of labor is an incredibly challenging and vulnerable time. Sharlene reminded me of my power, stood up for me and when tensions arose, and supported me when I needed it most. I am so grateful to have found her!” -Jenna
“I am so grateful for the wonderful, caring, and atentive support I recieved from Sharlene throughout my pregnancy and birth. She was always there when I needed her, offering guidance, comfort, and reassurance. Her presence made a huge difference in my experience, and I can’t imagine going through it without her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive care during this special time.”-Maxine
“They truly aren’t enough words to explain what a gift Sharlene was as a doula. Her support throughout my 37 hour labor was everything I needed and more. She stayed by our side through everything from laboring at home to going to the hospital. She was there to take care of me, support my husband, and also support and watch over our daughter after she was born. A peace of mind she provided me throughout that entire process was priceless. And that was just through the labor. Her patience and resources throughout my pregnancy and postpartum was a whole other gift. She was always happy to ask questions and provide suggestions.
I would 100% need to have her by my side for any potential future pregnancies.” Sorna
“We cannot say enough good things about our beautiful experience working with Sharlene. Before the birth, she was kind attentive and incredible resource for getting educated in both prepping for birth and supporting the emotions of the last few weeks of pregnancy. She entered every question thoroughly and without
judgement, and gave us both a lot of peace of mind and calm going into birth. She provided some great tools and recommendations for getting in a good mindset and being educated about birth.
Our birthing experience was very special and large part because Sharlene was with us every step of the way, both in communication and in person. We ended up needing to go directly to labor and delivery from a 39 week appointment, and our intentions and thoughts to labor at home before coming to the hospital were completely thrown out the window. Sharlene was there for us through it all, helping us as we navigated a rapidly changing environment and when we needed her most, she came to the hospital and provide provided incredible support. We could not have been happier with how the actual birth happened, and we feel that Sharlene was a key piece of the puzzle in making the experience what it was at the end of the day.
Sharlene was immensely supportive immediately following birth in the hospital as well as in the follow up home visit.

Her wide breath of knowledge and support for immediately postpartum was very comforting for both of us especially during the transition home after a relatively calm hospital experience.
We could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for a caring, informed and supportive doula to be part of your birth. We only hope we are so blessed to work with her again!” Ruthie
“Booking Sharlene early made our connection even stronger when my birth came. The support she provided for me and my husband was nothing I could have expected. She went above and beyond during my pregancy, birth, and postpartum. She is a wealth of knowledge and I felt so prepared for everything that came our way. We are forever grateful”-Nadia
“Sharlene was an absolute godsend for my partner and me during our birth journey. As a same-sex couple navigating the complexities of an IVF pregnancy, we were looking for a doula who could offer not just physical and emotional support, but a deep sense of inclusivity and understanding and Sharlene delivered on every level. From our very first meeting, she enveloped us in an environment where we felt entirely safe, validated, and genuinely taken care of. Her grounded, knowledgeable presence took so much weight off our shoulders, allowing us both to stay fully present and connected during the birth. Sharlene didn't just support a delivery, she fiercely protected our peace and made our entire birth experience feel incredibly beautiful, empowered, and unforgettable.” Carli
“I cannot say enough positive and kind words about Sharlene! Her support and guidance were exactly what I needed during so many ups and downs of my pregnancy.
This was my second birth, my redemption birth. From our first meeting, I knew she understood my husband and my trauma from our first birth, our goals for this birth, and what we desired and needed. This started with her encouraging and validating my decision to change OBs at 28 weeks. She wrapped her supportive arms around us as we were monitored extensively at the end by a specialist. She answered every message with such grace, always saying just what I needed. She advocated for us before we even got to the hospital and I looked to her throughout. Sharlene, my husband, and new OB made up my dream team and curated my redemption birth.
I am overwhelmingly grateful to have had her in my corner, then and always.” Elizabeth
